So we have a dumpster rental at the moment (fixing up the house, throwing away some old furniture and whatnot), and it's almost full. Since we still have two pieces that I need to save some space for in there, I decided to take some stuff that would have gone in the dumpster and put it out to regular trash. All-in-all I had maybe 8 more trash bags than normal out there since I've been throwing out a lot of old stuff.

This morning (at about 5:30AM I might add), the trash guys showed up to get the trash, and start throwing a little hissy fit outside my house, lol. Screaming like school children outside my house because they needed to grab a few extra bags. About how we're idiots because I didn't throw them in the dumpster and how they were going to do it for me to show me how dumb I was. Thankfully they didn't. And they spent maybe 30 seconds (not an exaggeration) grabbing the trash I left for them. SO DIFFICULT.

Stuff like that really drives me up a wall. They're paid to get trash and get mad when I leave some extra trash. Then the tantrums that probably woke up a quite a few of the neighbors.

Question for @YanxFan, and anyone else here getting the Xbox One too I guess.

What release day game are you getting? I'm contemplating just Ghost or Battlefield 4 until The Division and Titanfall come out, but figured I should check if anyone I know will have them for the new system, or just stick with the old for now.

I will get the XBox One, but I'm not so sure I'm going to do it at launch unless Quantum Break is a launch title. Watch Dogs and ACIV are coming out on 360 as well, so I'm gonna wait until there's a next gen exclusive that I really want. CoD / Battlefield don't do it for me. We'll see what happens at Gamescom next week.

Well if the guy was too old, the guy was too old lol. I don't see why you rage at the dev for that. It's disappointing to loose a VA you like, but that actually sounds like a fairly legit reason. Now if they didn't ditch the VA for Absolution, then why be so upset about it?

Plus in my xp, some of them should be ditched lol.

He was too old to do something that didn't need to be done, which is have the voiceovers done at the same time as animations. And I was upset about Absolution because they almost ditched him behind his back for no reason, leaving fans pissed for months until they hired him again.
I swear I used to not give a crap about VAs, but it's just that I went back to play the original Hitman games before Absolution came out and was like "damn his voice is amazing", then heard that the VA got ditched.

Same with SC, I swear the first thing I noticed about Sam is his voice, now it's gone. I'm fine with them ditching the character but if they were gonna keep Sam they should keep his VA.

@H377Spawn
I'm to the point in a Hymn before battle where O'Neal planted the homemade bomb on the Posleen dodecahedron invasion ship and blew the fucker in half. Very Halo Reachesq. I'm addicted. I love how he writes in a bunch of characters in their separate story arcs then kills them the fuck off just when you start to care about them. Evil bastard.

My current plans are to sell my pre-orders on eBay but who knows if my will is strong enough to not keep one.

Thief is a must have game for me. I watched some of the Dying Light gameplay Footage today and it seems like the game I wanted Dead Island to be. Bungie does quality well so Destiny may be a must have.

And Gamescom WOOOOOOOOO! Damn I love game's conventions.
Inquisition is looking good, I hope if they bring back old characters they keep the VAs, I understand that's not always possible but have the replacement VAat least have a similar voice type. Don't bring back Leliana with an American accent. I'll kill you.

Origins had an absolutely amazing soundtrack, it was just beautiful and added so much to the game, I hope Inquisition's will be as good.

So my gaming TV died. 42" LG LCD. Did some searching online, and it turns out that the model I have is prone to blowing capacitors, which is within my realm of capabilities. Got home and promptly tore apart the casing to find it is indeed the capacitors that are bitched. 5 to be exact.

So I run out, grab a soldering iron, solder, de-soldering braid, and...

No capacitors. Every supplier has closed, or like Radio Shack (now The Source) has gotten out of the actual electronics business. Finally found the set I need on Amazon, but now I must wait about a week to see if the repair will be a thrilling success, or humiliating and expensive failure.

Will this work? Or will I be smashing the TV's carcass in a fit of rage a la Office Space? Stay tuned to find out!

Lol, I really do hope this works out, I hate it when crap like this happens. When most stores fail you and you need to make a money and time consuming gamble ( I'm saying time consuming since you need to wait a week not knowing if it'll work).
I'll pray for ya.

Should work as long as you match the capacitance and voltage ratings to what was there before. And if you put them in correctly if they're polarized. That's given that the capacitors are the only thing that blew out. Good luck

Someone did their homework apparently, and loaded up on the specific capacitors, and sells them as a package on Amazon, so I'm good for lining up the ratings. It comes with the whole board's worth (but not the board), so it will leave me with a few spares too.

That is the woooooorst. I hate having to wait to find out whether or not a repair will be a success. It's like putting all your eggs in a basket that may or may not have a hole in it, waiting a week, and finding out the hard way.

Fml, not my week. Just took a nice stone to the windshield on this morning's commute. Good ol' crack right in front of my eyes. Plus side, my buddy's the regional manager for a company that does chip/ crack repair so it won't cost much if anything. Downside is they have him way out east in Nova Scotia, so it's yet another repair on hold.

Strangely, things could still could be WAY worse. But hopefully they don't...

They weren't named but there were 3 survivors. I was really hoping that the female sniper managed to survive. Mike surviving was pretty awesome. He's the BAMF. :-D

Click to expand...

The best I can say about her surviving is,...again,... kind of?

You'll see... ; )

But if you're liking it now, you're gonna love it when the shit starts hitting the fan in the next few.

A few thoughts. So far Ringo seems to pushing a very heavy "Murica' Fuck Yeah" undertone. Not that I mind but its almost too overpowering. This series is very Halo-esq. Which I have no problem with. One thing I don't like is that it feels like I'm missing time between books 2 & 3. It felt like I skipped part of the series and its like shiz went downhill fast and we're suddenly nearing the end of our time. WTF? Also. THANKS FOR THE ADDICTION YOU WEENUR! :-p

I found the same thing. At first was full "WTF?" thinking I missed something, but eventually found it bothered me less as it went on. And definitely a full on 'Murica marathon, though he does finally hand it to a few other groups later down the line. His choice of heroes in Watch on the Rhine was just, well, you'll get there...
